The news today

I opened up one of the local online newspapers today to check the weather, as I do every day. Here is a surprise! There is a rain probability of 85% today. Every day when I check the weather, the rain probability is between 85% and 87%. Without fail... every day...it never goes lower or higher than that. They literally change it to be 85%, 86% or 87% every day. It does rain almost every day, even if for only 5 minutes, so they could just save time and put it at 100%--they would be more right than wrong. So, why do I even bother looking? Well, I like to see the temperature. But alas, every day it is in the 50’s - never higher, sometimes lower. So yet again, why do I even look? I am fairly certain this is spring - my calendar is telling me it is May. However, it does not feel like the May that I am familiar with. We are not having warmer days, or even that many sunny days. The trees are getting leaves, the flowers are blooming, but it is still very cold here. So I suppose every day, I open the website up, hoping and praying, fingers crossed, that it will magically jump to 70 degrees? A girl can wish. Bean asks me every weekend if she can wear her cute summer dresses. At this rate, there might be two weeks in August that it might hit 70 degrees.
And the headline in the same newspaper today: Cheeky Thieves Cut Off Exhausts In Car Parks. Really, I don’t think I need to elaborate on this one.
And finally – that gosh darn volcano is in the news again. Yet again, wreaking havoc over Scotland and Ireland. I am really hoping the ash does not blow over England again.
And that, was your weather and local news report today.
